A Forward for the Event by Dr. Arthur Weaver M.D. President of Better Living Seminars.
Better Living Seminars is again pleased to endorse this important tasting event. Important because it will introduce new concepts of eating to many of you, for others it will allow you to add to the variety of vegetarian dishes that you are already serving your family. New nutritional research is being published regularly showing the advantages of a balanced vegetarian diet. Scientists are discovering new phytochemiclas and antioxidants in fruits, grains, vegetables, and nuts that where previously thought nonexistent. These natural compounds have been shown to be anti-carcinogenic, to lower cholesterol, and to significantly reduce many chronic disease processes such as diabetes, arthritis, and macular degeneration.
Every available evidence now indicates that a well-balanced, total vegetarian diet is the best food plan one can choose. It seems that up to 80% of cancer is preventable by choosing to cut certain food habits from the diet. All types of meat (red and white) have been shown to be associated with and increase in various types of cancer. Most heart disease is also preventable by a vegetarian diet. These two diseases alone account for the greatest cause of premature death in our country today. Enjoy the holiday tasting Extravaganza. We hope that it will encourage you in your goal of developing a better life style.
